In my experience, start menu shortcuts you pin to the taskbar get copied rather than referenced, meaning any changes made to the start menu shortcut do not propagate to the shortcut on the taskbar. It made for some additional hair loss when I tried to figure out why changes I made to the start menu shortcut didn't show up in the properties of the taskbar icon, but that's neither here nor there...zer0 wrote:In Win 7, no matter what value I insert into the INI file the taskbar icon doesn't change -- it shows the default blue-to-green plectrum. Aero Sneak Peek and top left-hand corner icon changes though...see below.

I'd delete the tasbar icon and then re-pin it by right-clicking on the shortcut in the start menu.
And here I thought I was being clever given the hour...zer0 wrote:I have never pinned it
So have I, no UAC.serendipity wrote:Cannot reproduce this. Tried on both Win-7 32 and 64 bits. I don't know if it matters but have UAC turned off in both.
Another long shot, but does rebooting make any difference? I have XYplorer pinned (unlike you) and the new icon didn't show up in the taskbar until after I rebooted.zer0 wrote:So have I, no UAC.serendipity wrote:Cannot reproduce this.

Hmmm, it shows up for me instantly.nas8e9 wrote:Another long shot, but does rebooting make any difference?

I guess it doesn't matter any more, since Don has changed the icon yet again...serendipity wrote:Hmmm, it shows up for me instantly.
Still no luck with this one gents -- taskbar icon, Sneak Peek icon and Title bar icon are all refusing to change. If it helps, the tweak is as followszer0 wrote:And now I am having issues trying to load a custom icon file via IconFile tweak. I provide the full path -- tried with quotes and without -- but the default "Black Orange" icon still loads
Code: Select all

Might be the OS, or the icon file (you can send it to me so I can test it).zer0 wrote:Still no luck with this one gents -- taskbar icon, Sneak Peek icon and Title bar icon are all refusing to change.

On XP that is, right? Works on XP here also. No go on Win 7 though. Clutching at the straws: could brackets in ICO file's path be screwing things up?admin wrote:The icon works fine here.
